Mr. Mattson I want to thank you for your prospecting videos. I am currently at the Umpqua. I was here last year as well, but had not yet absorbed Black Elks wisdom. I will do my best to honor that wisdom. Most respectfully, thank you. Your servant, JSH

Thanks John and you're welcome. Black Elk was an interesting man, was at the Custer Battle, then was with Buffalo Bill's Wild West - got stranded in Europe 3 years when he missed the ship going home with same - studied the various religions while there until Bill Cody got him home. He was thought on his deathbed when "Black Elk Speaks" was recorded for the book, but lived on until the 1950's. Much wisdom in that book for those who seek it (of any religious persuasion) - the whole Sioux belief system laid out in his talk about "the pipe" and in it encompasses the very core of every religion on earth. Very best of luck in the gold fields - you're doing it! As someone else said 99% are spectators . . . you've chosen to participate.

Thanks for another great technique Matt. Nice casting Dead-Eye!

[@mattmattsongold]

Ah - but you don't know how many takes that took! Got lucky.

[@riverbender9898]

Pure skill!

[@floridatabdigger3104]

You're welcome - best of luck fishing!

Stayed away from pawn shops my entire life until I really had no choice a few years back and sold one my downriggers. Used all kinds of _poor man's_ rigs since, but using a slip bobber to set depth is a new twist. Tried it with cowbells?

[@mattmattsongold]

Now that would be interesting. I have never tried the cowbell rig (but should). I know how you feel on the down rigger - fishing equipment is meant to be accumulated, not sold! Glad you're still OK.

[@CarlKem]

Is this any good for trout, Matt? BTW, long time no see, eh? Hope all is well for ya.

[@mattmattsongold]

Thanks Carl, we've been doing OK. Forget the trolling part and use a jig head (be sure and tie the head so it jigs level •-- ) with shrimp, gulp shrimp, or a white plastic fluke and jig it like I was doing and it will nail them. Since you might be jigging a lot - 2 bobber ties might be needed (one jams the other). Set the depth about 3 feet off the grass, when you pull up, hold it a few like I was doing. Good luck!!!!
